Using gear channel instead of aux2 on spektrum dx7s

Postby trypt » Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:09 am

How do I "remap" so that the Autoquad firmware uses the GEAR channel instead of AUX2 for setting home and RTH?

Is it just to change this line in config_default.h ?

#define DEFAULT_RADIO_AUX2_CH 6

to
#define DEFAULT_RADIO_AUX2_CH 4

and recompile?

No need to recompile, you can remap channels in the radio channel applet in Qground control.
In your case you can enter channel 5 (I believe) after the aux2 channel.
But the gear channel on most transmitters is only a 2-stage switch, on-off so you loose one of the actions.
I guess you could live without setting home, that is done on the first position hold anyway and use the gear as RTH.

ah, thanks!

Yeah it's only a 2 stage switch, but I will try to see if I can use some channel mixing on the transmitter to combine it with another 2 stage switch to get all 3 actions.
